It's a beautiful color on you. Tanya on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1794403 Mon, 03 Apr 2017 22:41:01 +0000 Tanya 1794403@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Great!  So glad to hear the jacket worked out in a size up, as it is truly perfect on you.

It added just the right ease in the shoulders, but no apparent additional length in the jacket or sleeves. Thanks to everyone for weighing in.

Really pretty. The jacket looks perfect from here...too bad.

I think these are great additions for you! I don't see any fit issue with the shoulders of the jacket, but I am not a fan of anything that feels tight.

Great choice  You are looking fab in pink. Angie on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792904 Thu, 30 Mar 2017 01:14:10 +0000 Angie 1792904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ LOVE the pink plaid outfit. Sooooo gorgeous. What a shame the fit of the jacket feels off. The red trousers look fabulous. They will loosen on the thigh as you wear them during the day.  Lisap, too narrow sleeves on jackets and coats have been a hectic universal fit problem for a while. SOOO annoying.  UmmLila (Lisa) on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792863 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 23:50:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1792863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pants issue -- my usual size was a little too tight on the thigh junk and the next size up maybe a little too big and long in rise. Anonymous on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792859 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 23:42:03 +0000 Anonymous 1792859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The jacket doesn't look tight, but I know that pulling in the shoulder/armsceye can be hard to see but too uncomfortable to wear.  I have tried on about 10 blazers this week, and not a single one fit properly in the upper arm.  What is up with these skinny sleeves and tight /high arms?  The jacket is so beautiful though, the first combo makes a perfect outfit. I'm not  totally in love with the fit of the red pants on you. Something about the front/crotch area.... Tanya on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792832 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 21:56:41 +0000 Tanya 1792832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Everything looks so good on you here.  I gasped when I saw the first outfit - it is gorgeous and I want all the pieces too :)  Too bad about the tightness in the jacket shoulder - maybe try a size up and compare.

It really is quite beautiful. I love the shape of the back. :( The pants look great on you (both pairs)! UmmLila (Lisa) on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792777 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:18:32 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1792777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, all. As Sara suggested, there is a bit of a constricting feeling. My problem with sizing up in jackets is that then the sleeves and length are off. Ledonna N. on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792773 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 20:10:08 +0000 Ledonna N. 1792773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I really really like the jacket. But yes maybe size up. The pink looks very lovely on you. JAileen on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792758 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 18:58:17 +0000 JAileen 1792758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The pink outfit looks superb. Is it uncomfortable? Could you size up? karen13 on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792756 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 18:54:30 +0000 karen13 1792756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Both outfits look great from a fit and color perspective. Love the blush and tomato on you and the white shoes make it all pop. And the plaid/stripe combo is fabulous, but you won't wear it if it is at all uncomfortable. anchie on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792734 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 18:20:58 +0000 anchie 1792734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Why do you think that it is too small in the shoulders? Is it too constricting to move? In the picture it looks great, but how you feel is the most important.

The pattern mixing is perfect. The shoulders look good to me but I'm no expert. Sara L. on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792720 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:40:44 +0000 Sara L. 1792720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These all look great!  I love the jacket with the striped shirt underneath.  The shoulders look ok in the picture, but if they feel too tight, then I would send it back.  I can't stand that constricting feeling when blazers and wovens are too tight in the shoulders/arms. UmmLila (Lisa) on "Checks, pink and red" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/checks-pink-and-red#post-1792716 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:25:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1792716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I don't know how I can be expected to get work done if UPS insists on coming to the house. I bought a pair of pink ("nantucket red") kick flares, red-orange more formal pants (both from Tory Burch, no finds)  and a reddish-pink plaid jacket (Veronica Beard, in finds.) I think the jacket is a bit too small in the shoulders and will likely have to go back. It's quite expensive so it needs to be just right for me to keep it. I am interested in all your opinions on these items.
